Layaway Plan Gets Laid Away

Wal-Mart Stores to Cease Layaway Service:

Sam Walton's Wal-Mart _ the one that 'bought American', treated workers with some dignity, and gave low income customers a chance to buy an expensive item over time _ that Wal-Mart is now on permanent layaway

Not that I don't think layaway plans are just another kind of marketing scam but its another step further away from Sam Walton's original vision and that's just kind of sad.
